The Weepies - Not Your Year

How very like our generation to embrace moments of complete uncertainty and immortalize them in song.

Not Your Year isn't so much about everything going terribly wrong as it is about the failure on the part of things to go particularly right. You wake up in the morning and look around and wonder how in the world things have come to this, how your life has amounted to the clothes you left on the floor and the messages you haven't checked. Life becomes some kind of glorified anti-climax, really, and we look around and wonder what it was we'd been so excited about all along, if this is all there is.

The Weepies put out a song with a solution, though, and Not Your Year offers, "Breathe through it, write a list of desires/ Make a toast, make a wish, slash some tires/ Paint a heart repeating, beating “don’t give up." It's impressively sage advice.
